Weather Alerts

If the National Weather Service anticipates an exceptional weather condition – such as a blizzard, high winds, or flooding – we’ll tell you all the relevant information in our weather forecasts.

Listen for warnings, watches, and advisories, and listen especially for any special actions or precautions that the National Weather Service may recommend (such as to seek higher ground or to secure boats in the event of flooding or high seas).

Marine Weather

KNOM also features daily marine weather forecasts, which cover weather conditions for the seas and sea coasts of Western Alaska. The marine weather is recorded directly from the National Weather Service office in Nome. The Nome office records marine weather every day at 4am and 4pm, and it airs on KNOM at these times:

Monday through Friday:

9am, 12noon, 5pm (approximately 10 minutes after the hour – in between KNOM Update News and the regional weather forecast)

Saturday and Sunday:

9:02am (immediately after CNN News)

12noon and 5pm (approximately 10 minutes after the hour, before the regional weather forecast)
